You’ll hopefully have got the idea of road.cc Recommends by now. Essentially, it’s the place where we group all of the very best-performing products that we’ve reviewed – the crème de la crème if you like – not simply stuff that’s scored well, but those items we think stand out as special. In short, it’s a one-stop-shop for cycling excellence.
We update road.cc Recommends monthly, and we’ve added 11 products from all those we review in March, including two bikes: one from Wilier and one from Orro. The Wilier Filante is a high-end aero road bike currently being ridden by the Total Direct Énergie team – and it’s gorgeous, frankly.

Thanks for your thoughts David. Argos is looking a good bet.
I'm pretty sure this is at least the third time the BBC have had a story on this - not sure why they keep forgetting that they've covered it.
Watching sports seems super boring to me, so not a problem....
Wattbike are notorious for releasing products before the software is ready. Likely long term it will be fine....
That is a horror show. A gravel racers bike but since it has a motor no racer can use it....
Have you seen the prices for vinyl records these days? Music piracy is still alive and kicking.
I have a way of dealing with tyres that are virtually impossible to fit, I either completely avoid buying them or having made a mistake simply...
